Red Dead Redemption 2 is by far the best game of all time. It's one of the biggest, most elaborate, most impressive games ever made. It's hard not to agree that this is a masterpiece in the gaming industry (but not for everyone, obviously).

Story
The story of the protagonist at the beginning seems simple enough. A bad man, in a gang that is engaged in robberies, sometimes murders. The player can line up Arthur in a slightly different way. You can become a better person, do good deeds and get on the right path. In the middle of the game, Arthur learns about the disease, which will make him repent of what he is doing and why he is doing it. The plot is told slowly, but it is exciting, interesting, thoughtful. I want to go through each mission, watch cutscenes and see what will happen next with the main character and his gang. After all, the gang is also changing and not for the best (but see for yourself).
Additional tasks are inferior to the plot in interestingness, some tasks act as teaching something. For example, how to rob a cart, to whom to drive it to get a reward. There are many short tasks, funny and even scary. Some of the quests are connected with the heroes from Dutch's gang.
You can once again take a break from the storyline or learn something new and interesting. Almost all tasks are quite simple, so why not go through them.
Next, we will talk about gaming activities and the liveliness of the world.
There are a lot of them in the game, you will hardly find a more filled world than in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Random encounters happen everywhere, whether to help people depends only on you.
Unexpected attacks of hostile gangs on you, of which there are only 6 in the game, and all over the world you can meet people from different gangs or their camps.
Many small tasks, random encounters, as well as the opportunity to explore the world
- Cigarette cards of which there are more than a hundred in the game and each card belongs to a separate collection, they can be collected and sold to a collector.
- Dinosaur bones, there are 30 bones in the game, after you collect all, an additional quest will open.
- Hunting and fishing, a total of 14 legendary fish and 16 legendary animals that require bait to catch
- Dreamcatchers, 20 locations in total. They are one of the types of collectibles that hang from trees.
- Treasure maps, caches, cave paintings, board games and much more you can find just by exploring the world.
Whether you do this or not is up to you.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very meditative, slow, but at the same time exciting and quite interesting. The game has excellent movement on a horse around the big world, excellent battles with enemy gangs, there is a hunting and fishing system, a resource management system.

Sound design and graphics

The game has a gorgeous picture, there is no doubt about it.
I really liked the play of the rays of the sun. Well done change of weather, time of day.
Rain / thunderstorm is generally a separate topic for admiration.
In a word, not a game, but a real paradise for those who like to take beautiful screenshots.
The music score also fits in very well with the game.
One can feel the attention to every little thing, in the same collection of herbs, bottles, cans, opening cabinets, doors, and so on. Even the process of collecting trophies from opponents.
Of course, the speed of collecting items suffered from this, and for many, I think, for the entire time of the game, all this will have time to get bored with order. Moreover, the animations of all this are the same
The horse riding is also excellent (as is the care of the filly). It's so good that I've never used fast travel during my entire playthrough.
What for? - if there is so much to see around. And in general, it allowed me to fully feel the atmosphere of the game :)

Conclusion

This is one of the best story games. If you want to get a great story for 80+ hours and delve into the world of the Wild West, you should definitely try this game if you haven't already. The game has a lot of cool activities, various secrets, very serious detailing and elaboration of small details that no one ever thinks about, but they are in the game. I want to erase my memory in order to go through this game again and get a lot of fun and enjoyment. I definitely recommend at least trying this game, even if it's not your genre.

Final Score - 100/100

Is OP deleting comments? It seems like it since I keep getting notifications for this review and yet when I go to it there is nothing there

@aaushsrivastav2k I don't know about Epic but you really want to have at least 12 gb of RAM to play this (and more won't hurt). It has deep requirements and if your system doesn't meet them it won't even bother trying it'll just exit the game and say 'your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements.' You used to be able to force it to play anyway but not anymore.

TLDR; don't buy it if you don't meet all of those requirements - they aren't kidding that it takes a high-end machine to run it.

Not to detract from your post as I agree its an amazing game but, you don't actually need bait to kill the legendary animals.
